{"title":"Chinese Polearms","description":"\u003cp\u003eChinese military tradition ranked the spear as the king of weapons, and the polearm family that grew around it is one of the richest anywhere. The qiang is the spear itself: a leaf-shaped head, often with a red tassel below it, on a long flexible shaft. The ji is the Chinese halberd, a spear point paired with one or two crescent blades, and the fangtian ji with its twin crescents is the form associated with the warlord Lü Bu. The guandao, also written kwan dao, is the heavy curved blade on a long shaft named for the general Guan Yu, whose weapon in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms was said to weigh over eighty pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere a piece here is made in 1095 high carbon or Damascus steel, it is hand forged.

Uchiko may then be applied in one of two ways. The most common method is to gently tap the Uchiko ball every few inches along the flat of the blade on one side and then the other. The more traditional method is to hold the blade vertically and tap the ball every few inches along the spine. The fine powder particles will be drawn to the blade while the heavier powder particles will fall past the blade. The powder should then removed from the blade with another cloth wiping over the spine from hilt to tip in one direction. Remember, you are simply removing the powder and excess oil at this point – you’re not polishing nor do you want to scratch the blade. Once the powder has been removed the blade may be inspected, and a new light coating of oil may be applied to the blade, using a soft clean cloth or tissue. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSword Oil- Use the cleaning cloth to wipe a light coating of oil on the blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSword Sharpener\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade of high quality white corundum for stone, it is corrosion resistant.
